I'm doing some development in java using the 'jdom' class package. I installed it using portage, and added it to my user classpath using java-config --set-user-classpath. The problem is that I am using sun java 1.4.1 and java-config added the jdom version for java 1.1 to the classpath first, and the 'real' jdom for newer versions of java later. It also added the sun.java.collections classes to the classpath, even though these are included in newer versions of the jdk in the java.util.*; classes. I fixed the problem (after a couple of hours of debugging code that I was 'positive' should work) by deleting the jdom-jdk11.jar file and collections.jar from the ~/.gentoo/java-env-classpath and now everything works ok. I'm not sure if this is a problem with the jdom package (I rebuit it manually using ant and it didn't build the uneeded jar files) or java-config. I guess either one could be changed to fix it.
fixed
